“We have provided TLG with an official ‘Issues List’, which is comprised of
all of the fan issues we have gathered. That’s right, everything from the
color variances, to suggestions for new sets, to set availabilty. of the
official comprised of all of the fan issues we have gathered.”

The issues list is now posted on the .Ambassadors sidebar.
These issues, regarding LEGO products and services worldwide, should come as
no surprise to anyone, as they have been brought to the Ambassadors’
attention repeatly over the past few months/years. We are working with TLG to
have these items addressed and answered, as an ongoing effort of 2-way
communication.
We are confident that you, the LEGO fans, will have more issues for us to add
to this list. Please feel free to post them in this newsgroup.

What really apalls my wife who is a big-time Lego fan is the insulting way in
which Lego sets are marketed to girls and women. Stroll through a well stocked
Lego specialty store. If you are female, sets start out with Duplo Brick
princesses. If you are 8-to 11 the Belville Sets are the same theme, and the
same number of pieces. While they don’t use Duplo bricks in Belville, the
Lego-system elements included are huge. Where a boy’s king’s castle set would
include 800+ standard sized Lego system pieces, a girl’s Belville castle will
still only be 80 BIG system pieces. Is TLG saying that 51 percent of the
world’s population is dumb, is it telling parents (who pay for the sets) that
their daughters are too dumb to appreciate or understand how Lego elements fit
together? This marketing strategy is idiocy. Visit Legoland, you will see that
51% of the children are young girls, and they want advanced sets.
